Record Loading

Record Loading Services

CRL catalog records are available to CRL members and their consortia. These records can be loaded into local catalogs for direct searching by your users. The records are available at no charge with quarterly updates.

Records can be downloaded directly from CRL through a dedicated ftp site. For ftp downloads, we can provide customized record sets, such as digital content only or newspaper titles. We can also control the file size to suit member's needs. Our records are provided in either UTF-8 or MARC format. Please contact our Record Loading Team for more information.

Library vendors also offer our records through their products and services. Our records are found in Ex Libris’ Primo Central knowledgebase, the ProQuest Summon knowledgebase, EBSCO Discovery Services and OCLC record sets.

For vendor records, contact the vendor to learn how to include CRL records in your implementation.
